The following formula can be used to determine the maximum heater rating (per the definition of unconfined space) that is
allowed in your space:
Maximum BTU/Hr. =
x 1000
Example A: Consider two connecting rooms with an open area between, with the following dimensions: L1 = 151/2 ft., L2 = 12 ft.,
W = 12 ft., H = 8 ft.
x
1000
=
52,800
BTU/Hr.
Example B: If there were a door between the two rooms the calculation would be based only on the room with the heater.
x 1000 = 29,760 BTU/Hr.

Bringing in Outside (or “Make-up”) Air
Some building code jurisdictions require that outside or “make-up” air be provided when installing a fireplace of this type. This
requirement may be satisfied by the proper installation of an ‘outside air source’ which is not provided. The suitability of any
particular air source ducting system must be made by the installer. Connection to an outside air source is made via the Air Shutter
Kit. See the Air Shutter Kit installation instructions later in this manual.
